AirConsole is a browser-based gaming platform that turns your computer / SmartTV into a video game console and your smartphones into gamepads.
Our vision is to become the #1 place for party and local multiplayer games. But we've realized we can solve another big need with our infrastructure: Watching YouTube videos together with friends. Usually people have to battle over the keyboard when they're on youtube, they skip videos accidentally or it takes forever until they find the exact video they are looking for. So watching YouTube videos together is a bit a mess.
With youtube.airconsole.com you have one shared big screen and everybody can search for videos on their smartphone and throw them into the playlist of the big screen. Everybody can upvote the videos in the playlist and they can enjoy the best videos without battling or long interruptions.
It's also great for parties: The master controller can limit the allowed youtube videos to "Music Videos only" - and the crowd becomes the DJ...
I'm the founder of N-Dream AG, the company behind AirConsole. I'm happy to answer more questions if you have any - we're also very interested in feedback.

@andrinvr@morgam I know the founder of PlayWin who's bringing unique multiplayer gaming solutions for game developers. He's been doing a lot of thinking about multiplayer solutions. I'm sure he'd be up for a virtual coffee chat over Skype to see if you have any collaboration opportunities. If interested, email me and I'll do an email introduction Paul (at) TheAppGuy.co
